Meet China’s new tech giants: Alibaba, Baidu, Tencent and Xiaomi

Find out how Chinese tech giant Alibaba and its peers Baidu, Tencent and Xiaomi are giving Amazon and Google a run for their money. Google, Amazon, Facebook and Apple (Gafa) may still be the world’s largest technology companies, but a new generation of contenders is coming from the East. The Chinese giants are consistently on the MIT Technology Review’s list of smartest companies in the world. While Chinese enterprises were long written off as copycats, this has now become a bad joke. Gafa needs to be aware of BATX’s boundaryless business approach, leveraging a new way of organising and exploiting the benefits of both strategic planning and entrepreneurial decision-making.
